Words having
Sound, depth, and color
We must use
Them with leverage
When
Words have
A soul...

Business before pleasure
Are you a big spender
Mortgaging your heart
For lustful endeavors
Straddling your bottom line
Leveraged with burgundy wine
She wants a quick merger
Before your numbers decline...

What makes you think
you can mortgage a heartache

What makes you think
your payment’s unique

What makes you think
your indebtedness special

What makes you think
—you can leverage the pain

Strange how psychosis seems to be the leverage for genius
Fragment the truth 
bevel reality
Within the derelict wasteland of inspiration
the resolution will be found
That sinkhole reverts
and the illusion of truth can never be known...

The power of induction,
truth insecure

Foundations and principles,
whispered demure

We take that next leap
from uncertainties throne

To leverage our doubts
—from what’s presently known

People follow the person first 
Followed by their message,
The wisest leader knows the truth
That gives them greatest leverage.

Yet the greatest leader in history showed
The message makes the man,
And helping all in love and grace
Will gather every clan....

Each eyelash lifted 
With the leverage of purity.
Wake up,
Not just in the morning.
Always, is the answer 
You’ve been searching for: 
OK. then,
Why are you always asking?
There is only one answer: 
Now!
You are only here for this, 
So…
Wake up!

That’s all there is to it.	...

How will you ever
afford yourself
the cost 
beyond your means
How will you pay
the price of longing
financing
your dreams
How will you leverage
the cost of hope
interest rates
on fire
How will you love
your heart 
in debt
— bankrupting desire

Hand over fist
Tightly bound mist
Falling change washes
Covering new day UN-derailed

Timelines metabolize truth
Driven skull to shine and buffer
Smoothie abuse, set up new booths!
A concoction of American bliss

Rage to the end of the world
See the bills unfurl
Leverage this beast
Make it complete...

in my psychosis;
leverage diagnosis;
fragment minds hurting;

I bevel my watch
ruined vagrant derelict
my resolution
~
just to do nothing;
mind and soul in this sinkhole;
tarnish illusion;

Pasty delicacy
demands protection
since succulent
taunts beasts
roaming wilderness
gripped by hunger

until revelation
pivots the victim
aggressive arguing
defensive while
harnessing feral
hungers unwieldy

with megatons
securing leverage
against savage
hidden wandering
enemies disguised
behind amity....

They would murderously fight in bed, 
Prompting the question 'why did they wed?'
Actively blowing away the guy's money, 
And suddenly ceased to call him 'Honey'
Publicly vowing to dissipate his income, 
All his efforts at leverage a bunkum
Now, he's striving to the evil way chart, 
And ceaselessly trying to break her heart....

Past permanently in pen 
Eternally etched in every
Thread throughout time 

Can be tempting to toss 
Almost all of it away to
Erase any trace of history

Reflecting reminds us that 
We all walked our own path 
Twisting our way to today 

Don’t dismiss our detours
Lean into them to leverage 
The foundation they formed...

Repair

There is a fragment of psychosis left behind,
by the illusion of leverage.
My personal resolution to stop the sinkhole
From becoming a derelict tourist trap,
has fallen short of success.
I drop to my knees to request more time.
The raised and beveled edge of my heart is guarded,
It is reluctantly given another chance....

My brain was in collusion

With psychosis and illusion,

No fragment of resolution

In my sinkhole of confusion,

Any leverage or bevel

Leads me towards the devil,

Now derelict of hope,

I seek sanctuary to cope.

In chaos, I live on the edge,
a black hole in dreams where
all thoughts are consumed and 
fragments of sanity are swallowed
by a bottomless sinkhole.
Like the illusion of a face 
reflected too close to the bevel -
its resolution undefined;
the psychosis of a 
         derelict mind
that no reason can leverage
and only love can lift ......

Not long ago
at the corner of
Ironic Avenue and
Mary Jane Lane, I grew
plump tuluberries with wiry
roots secured deep underneath
the muddy banks of Shasta Lake.

Cream flowed
from dangling taps
nourishing with foam.
Prayers welcomed blessed
survival when life held some
meaning beyond ticks on tricky
balance sheets singed as leverage....

When walking tight rope
Use your heart and mind
To balance the situation
To never get fall
Don't look elsewhere
Focus your mind forward
While concentrating on the rope
Let the heart control the inner
Stretch your both hands sideways
Like a feather for wind control
Step the right foot forward
To leverage success
Until you reach the end
To victory and never came back....
